I am really surprised that I get the impression that more men attend churches in America than here in the UK...I find it mind blowing that men are saying on here that they cannot find a wife! Will anyone from the UK back up what I am saying, Christian men are in such a minority here! And American girls, is this right? What is happening?!?! Also, I am not technically able to react or re post :) I knit and crochet but computing is beyond me! Love and peace to all.

I’m curious about this, too. From a guy’s perspective, I would like to make friends with fellow single guys. It can be a bit difficult to connect with married guys unless I already know them from work or something.

From reading “Why Men Hate Going to Church” they are more likely to be found in mega churches. We don’t really have anything like that here.

I am trying to find a church to attend, and some of them can feel unwelcoming. I haven’t necessarily felt like I’m being judged when I go like others, but it’s a bit disappointing to see how few opportunities to connect a lot of churches have. A couple of the bigger churches have page after page of women’s stuff, and then two or so classes for men. One of them is always a sexual purity griup, and the other is a 6am breakfast on Tuesday morning that I couldn’t possible make.

I don’t want to just attend, I want to grt involved. Maybe I could try out for a worship team?

Both genders claim they can't find a good Christian spouse. With all these people so unable to find a good spouse then why don't all the ones complaining hook up with each other? But, yet, when they get together they never want to be together. So I wonder what the real issue is.

Or maybe just age gaps lol. Maybe they live in different places, maybe they have different or even opposed goals. It's not wise to just hook up with people cuz you don't want to be alone, not only that but there are biblical requirements. I still don't feel like I've met most of those personally that's why I'm not really looking atm but i can still talk about it. Then you have people who just aren't what most men would want because whatever reason, it could be how intimidating they are, or how they express their emotions it's all a whole lot more complicated which is on of the reasons why I argue that apart from divine intervention we don't really have a chance at finding a good Christian spouse. Now I'm sure some people's expectations are probably too high , maybe mine are,but i think that we can't ignore practical stuff either it still exist we just need to have a bare minimum then stuff we'd like on top of that if possible.
